Preliminary Profile - Lippisch Li-10 High Speed Research Aircraft

The Li-10 is intended to serve as a high-speed research aircraft to investigate the challenges of trans-sonic flight. It employs the novel delta-wing planform developed by Doctor Alexander Lippisch in his work at the Luftfahrtforschungsanstalt Wien. Construction of the first of two prototype aircraft has been assigned to the Ernst Heinkel AG of Rostock-Marienehe.
